Abstract:
This workshop will explore the convergence of Outcomes Based Teaching and Learning (OBTL), authentic assessment and the integration of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. Principles and advantages of OBTL, with a specific focus on designing clear and measurable learning outcomes, will be discussed. We will also delve into the crucial role of authentic assessment in promoting student engagement while emphasising the importance of providing useful feedback and fostering student reflection to enhance the learning and assessment processes.
Furthermore, we will explore various tools and applications of generative AI that facilitate student creativity and problem-solving.
